            Bug ID: 205776
           Summary: keyboard maps use an entirely fictional ASCII
                    character
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: j.deboynepollard-newsgro...@ntlworld.com

kbdmap(5) documents 35 ASCII control characters.  32 C0 control characters plus
SPACE and DEL is of course only 34 characters. 

The 35th, entirely fictional, ASCII character is "ns"; snuck in between "rs"
(character #30) and "us" (character #31).  There is no such ASCII character
name.

This fictional ASCII character can be found in three places:

* The kbdmap(5) manual page.
* Several keyboard layouts, including (for examples) share/vt/kbdmaps/ua.kbd,
share/vt/kbdmaps/lt.kbd, and share/vt/kbdmaps/pt.kbd
* The kbdcontrol tool.

A superficial analysis suggests, from the placement at [Control]+[-_], that in
most cases "us" is what was meant.
